Assessment & maintenance

Establish the condition before determining the corrective action

Findings can be prioritized to support corrective maintenance, repair planning, capital budgeting, or development of a modernization strategy.

Modernization & replacement

Define the scope before requesting contractor proposals

For aging escalators, modernization planning can evaluate which major systems should be retained, repaired, upgraded, or replaced. Project specifications can establish equipment, performance, safety, testing, documentation, warranty, maintenance, and contractor requirements.

Construction administration can continue through field review, deficiency identification, testing, acceptance, and project closeout.
